Fanchon Stylezz was born on February 17 in Far Rockaway, Queens. She and her mother relocated several times before settling down in Long Island, New York.
While studying Business Ownership and Money Marketing in high school, Stylezz discovered her true passion for writing. Throughout the years she toyed around with the idea of writing movies, but life had other plans for her. As a single mother of two teens and pregnant with her third child, she decided to take medical classes at Hunter Business School.
Fanchon graduated two weeks ahead of her class with a 3.9 GPA, and shortly afterwards gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. What should have been a normal recovery changed Stylezz life forever. Two weeks after giving birth she suffered a massive heart attack and was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease and Congestive Heart Failure. An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator was installed in her chest just to keep her alive.
Fanchon Stylezz is a survivor and an advocate for Heart Disease treatment and research. She remains strong-willed and outspoken. Having plenty of free time on her hands, she dug back into her bag of many talents and started writing again.

Taliyah Russo thought her suburban life was the personification of perfection; unfortunately, like many times in life, appearances can be deceiving. When faced with an overwhelming secret that her family has been keeping from her, she needs to forget about her comfortable lifestyle in Long Island and move to Brooklyn and live with her grandmother. In Heart of Kings by Fanchon Stylezz, Taliyah has a lot of trouble adjusting to the new changes and to her family’s reality. With only one friend to help her, the girl falls into the luxurious trap of designer clothes, fast cars, and expensive living when she meets two men, one that appears to be her salvation, her knight in shining armor and the other the person that she can be herself around, and that will always listen to her. Taliyah has never been interested in men and the attention they gave her and now she has fallen for not one, but two apparently perfect men. As the story unfolds, the inexperienced suburban teenager will find herself lost in a world of damnation masked under material benefits and shallow rewards.
Heart of Kings is an emotional roller-coaster, taking readers from the innocence of young Taliyah to the cold-hearted person she becomes once she is involved in things beyond her comprehension. Fanchon Stylezz wrote a powerful journey of trust and deceit, love and hate, family bounds and loneliness, a story that once you start reading you will not be able to let go. As Taliyah's journey moves forward, even though there are moments when you envision the ending, you can’t help but wish for a happy ever after for this young lady, who, without the help and understanding of a loving family, lost track of who she was and most importantly, who she wants to become.
Apart from its literary value, the book is a wonderful life lesson for us all, no matter our age or place of birth; it shows us how things can go wrong only because you once had a few seconds of bad decisions and can’t figure out how to get back on track. It is a lesson on the importance of family and the deceiving facades of love and wealth.
